I've never understood Fantasy Football, either the rules or the appeal.
Perhaps it's a chance for non-geeks to geek out about something in a socially acceptable way? On the other hand, maybe it's just about having an excuse to socially interact with your workmates in a non-work context?

I have coworkers that I will go out to drink with and have over at my house on weekends, and I have coworkers I don't associate with at all outside work hours. Somewhere in between are the guys in my office fantasy football league.

Fantasy football doesn't require a lot of time investment if you are just trying to have some fun. Add in the fact that it involves watching sports, which is something many already enjoy doing on it's own.
